The Youth In Philanthrophy Advisory Council at the Morden Collegiate Institute began in 2003 with funding assistance from the Morden Area Foundation and the Thomas Sill Foundation. This group of young philanthropists takes on various projects to raise money which is used to support worthy causes in our community. This scholarship is just one of their many charitable endeavours.
